I believe Jan Jonansen gets the KUDOs for mentioning the PAUSE! From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Belisle Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 8:41 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: CLOSEWINDOW Thanks everyone for your responses. When Dennis mentioned the PAUSE command, I remembered having to use that with some of my pdf reports. I cleaned up some useless code from before 9.5 days and things seem to be smoother.
